The Cavalry rides again to Derbycon – a meeting of the horsemen, if you will! The organizers have again seen fit to offer us space for the weekend so we can congregate. Two years ago we held the first Hacker Constitutional Congress at Derbycon which helped solidify the vision, mission, and areas of focus. This year we will provide insight into what we’ve learned, as well as workshops so you can learn along with us.

1.00-2.00 | Automotive Q&A, and Gaming Demo | Craig Smith
Craig Smith will lead a technical discussion and answer questions about automotive security research. For instance: What is the CANBus, how do you tap into it, and how do you decode its protocol? What’s the product development lifecycle, how does the supply chain fit into that, and why does that make it hard to get vulnerabilities fixed? Craig will also demonstrate a game where you race around a virtual track by sending hacked messages to the engine control units, steering, and other car computer components!
2.00-3.30 | Legislative Overview | Jen Ellis and Bekah Brown
Overview of the legislative landscape, and how it affects the stakeholders in the various ecosystems. Be ready to learn to hear the legislative vernacular – that means “cyber” – and learn why you should care about what is going on inside the beltway.
